day 21: digital cleanup?

One of the many things I got out of my internship at Titmouse was learning how to use Flash as a digital cleanup/inking tool.  And it wasn’t an easy task by any means.  I remember cleaning up animation for one scene would end up lasting a month.  I used to joke around that after doing animation cleanup for the project I was on that I would be able to digitally ink anything.  And for anyone that knows me, I’m not known for having a clean line.

Anyways, while interning at Titmouse, I found out how much faster it is to ink digitally in Flash than Illustrator.  Thought I would take the time out to digitally ink my own art for a change.  I decided to add some tone so it wouldn’t look so bland.  That, and it’s really easy to do with the paint bucket tool.  There are still some parts I would like to fix with the value arrangement, but those changes aren’t destructive when it comes to vector art.  I plan on doing more digital inking on some of my designs, so look out for that in the future.  Cheers
